there isn't much to debate low grade birmingham made g.e. lewis blne was better put together then my stelingworth ejector and could be bought for $300 less.
american guns are not that bad just think you could be stuck with ole' german or belgian thingy with tight bores choked f/x-f that's good only for making "fist size" holes in woodern doors at long range! what makes english guns great is simple fact that one can actually hit something on the wing with them.
